To rate uncertainties within anomaly detection course for large span cable-supported bridges, a probabilistic approach is developed based on confidence interval estimation of extreme value analytics. First, raw signals from structural health monitoring system are pre-processed, including missing data imputation using moving time window mean and thermal response separation through multi-resoluti...

We propose a method to detect the onset of linear trend in a time series and estimate the change point T from the profile of a linear trend test statistic, computed on consecutive overlapping time windows along the time series. We compare our method to two standard methods for trend change detection and evaluate them with Monte Carlo simulations for different time series lengths, autocorrelatio...

The reliable detection and attribution of changes in vegetation growth is a prerequisite for the development of strategies for the sustainable management of ecosystems. This is an extraordinary challenge. To our knowledge, this study is the first to comprehensively detect and attribute a greening trend in China over the last three decades. We use three different satellite-derived Leaf Area Inde...

This report describes a visual approach to road detection. A field of dominant trend lines is established over the image, by convolution with Gabor filters; the trend lines are then grouped into "visual segments," providing evidence for macroscopic linear features. Sets of these macroscopic features are evaluated against a list of heuristic criteria, to determine their likelihood of representin...

Copy detection has very important application in both intellectual property protection and information retrieval. Currently, copy detection concentrates on document copy detection mainly. In early days, document copy detection concentrated on program plagiarism detection mainly and now the most studies are on text copy detection. In this paper, a comprehensive survey on natural language text co...

OBJECTIVE To analyze, stratifield by gender, trends of the new case leprosy detection rates in the general population and in children; of grade 2 disability, and of proportion of multibacillary cases, in the state of Bahia, Brazil from 2001 to 2014. METHODS A time series study based on leprosy data from the National Information System for Notifiable Diseases. The time trend analysis included Po...
